24OCT24 (23:25) It’s official now: "Power Outage Schedule Changes to 14 Hours Daily Across Ecuador Due to Electrical Crisis
The Ministry of Energy has rescheduled power outage hours nationwide due to changing climate conditions and the situation at the Mazar reservoir.
The government had anticipated reducing the current eight-hour daily power cuts, prompted by Ecuador’s worst drought in six decades, to four hours daily by November. However, this reduction will no longer be possible.
On October 24, the Ministry of Energy confirmed that the blackout schedules will be extended due to the critical situation of the Mazar reservoir, essential for electricity generation.
Acting Energy Minister Inés Manzano announced that the new schedules will now be 14 hours daily.
“We are facing a dynamic and unprecedented crisis that requires adapting to changing scenarios. For this reason, we have made the difficult but responsible decision to adjust the rationing plan, increasing outages from 8 to 14 hours per day, with a review scheduled for Sunday,” said Manzano.
“This tough decision is based on the severe climate conditions affecting all of South America, as we face an unprecedented drought, with Ecuador being no exception. Many countries are experiencing power cuts, and we’ve all seen with astonishment the images of a dry Amazon River.”
“The main issue is the historically low water levels, as seen at Mazar and Coca Codo Sinclair. We understand the frustration this may cause in your personal and professional life, but it’s important for you to know this is a transparent and responsible decision in the current situation the country is facing.”-

Regarding this total climate dependence, Miller is categorical in his analysis: "If it doesn't rain, even if the President stands on his head, there will be no energy. It doesn't matter what party you are from, if it doesn't rain as it is proposed in the system, there is no energy."
